  • Ethernet — Our own Ethernet technology, CTRLink®, helps improve your network performance with switching hubs designed for building or industrial automation. Fibre optic switches and media converters extend distances to 2 km. CC managed switches offer extended features and information on the status of the network.

  • BACnet — Beyond ARCNET and Ethernet products for building automation systems (BAS), CC also supports the BACnet/IP and BACnet MS/TP protocols with universal I/O for sensors, actuators and other HVAC devices. CC also manufactures protocol-aware routers that are unique to the BAS industry.

  • ARCNET — We're unequalled in ARCNET. CC active repeaters, links and hubs offer 2–16 ports for twisted-pair, coaxial and fibre optic cabling. CC network adapters support ISA, PC/104, PCI and USB buses.

  • CAN/DeviceNet — CC offers DeviceNet network adapters for ISA, PC/104 and PCI buses — and a CANopen adapter for PCI bus. Our Extend-A-Bus allows DeviceNet network diameters up to six kilometres.
